Based on Sagarin, we're going 3-9 this year.

FIU is the only team left on our schedule ranked lower than us

Sagrin is hot garbage, but pretty much any/all rankings have only FIU behind us.

[How Far Away Is The Roster?]

I think Kemon, Jenkins, Brooks are all very good and would love to have ANY of them here right now.   I don't think any of them were multiple all conference.  Not counting preseason or HM awards.

If he gets us to 6-6 and actually wins a bowl game, will GMG.com forgive him of his past sins?

Forgiveness is not absolution.

Definite win:

Not real sure I would call any game a "definite"  win.  FIU looks really down this year and the game is here, but...

[How Far Away Is The Roster?]

My main concern is QB and DB.  The real problem is we are always short at those positions, because almost everyone is short at those positions.

How many times have we had an Impact Player at either of those position groups?  Lets define that as someone who 1) can win multiple all conference awards, and 2) most teams in the conference would trade their top player at that position for ours?  Not often.  

Since our return to 1A/FBS,  looking at QB, the only two names that come to mind are Scott Hall and Mason Fine.  And neither one of those was heavily recruited.   If I remember correctly Hall had a gaudy record in HS as a QB, but his offers from the P5 programs came at safety, where he was named AP All State.  We gave him a shot at QB.  Fine broke every Oklahoma record, but because of his size we where the only FBS school to offer. 

Is it any  better at DB?  Who was the last truly shut down corner we had?  Don McGee?

 

We need a RECRUITER.  At least someone who understands your staff has to be all recruiting, all time.  Either through high school or the portal.  We have to get someone who can win those battles and have those kind of impact players sign here.

[How Many Total Wins?]

Looking at our schedule, things are bleak.  FPI has us ranked 112 out of 131 FBS teams. 

• @Memphis 2-1 -  Ranked 54 - Only loss is Miss St, wins against Navy and Ark St.
• FAU 2-2 - Ranked 81 - Maybe shakier than they seem? Losses to Ohio (not st) and UCF.  Wins against Charlotte (122) and SELa.
• LaTech 1-2 - Ranked 97 - They've had a killer schedule.  Losses to Mizzou and Clemson, lone win against SFA.
• @UTSA 1-2 - Ranked 68 - Losses to UH and UT, win against Army.
• @WKU 2-1 - Ranked 65 - Close loss to Indiana, wins against Hawaii and Austin Peay.
• FIU 1-1 - Ranked 130 - Only team FPI has us ahead of, squeaked out 1pt win against (not Kobe) Bryant, big loss to TexSt.
• @UAB 2-1 - Ranked 55 - Wins against Georgia Southern and Alabama A&M, lost to the Fightin' Fallwells. 
• Rice 2-1 - Ranked 108 - Lost to USC, beat McNeese, and snapped the Cajuns 16 win streak.

This is actually a replacement for the RedBox Bowl that was to be held in Cali. The organizers decided to drop it early this year, so this is actually just bringing up the number is bowls to the number expected at the start of the year.

[Are short term coach's contracts really a thing ?]

@UNT86 is spot on.  This is for sure used against coaches. 

I'm not saying we HAVE to give anyone an extension, but a short contract will be used against a HC by other coaching staffs.
